The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 17

~Elmore Police Station

They arrived at the police station, and Lapin jumped out of the car without opening the door, going right through it. Doc opened the back of her car to get Julius, Gumball, and Carmen out of it. Gumball was holding the Cactus, making it easier for Doc to drag them to the station, while Lapin was hopping as a rabbit would.

When Doc pushed open the door, he saw that the police station had been turned upside down. The desks, chairs, and other furniture were now on the ceiling while standing on the floor. However, the cops, including Doc, seemed unfazed, except for Lapin. Behind Clancy was a graph showing the crime rate in Elmore, which had been pointing upward ever since Doctor Nicole joined the force eight years ago.

"Um, Does this usually happen?" Lapin asks who is still on the "floor." looking up at the blue feline.

Doc replies without looking at him, "Only on the weekends." Then he jumps onto the ceiling, unaffected by gravity, while still carrying the three kids.

Inside the station, Clancy is talking to Frank, who is writing the reports that two of the Daisy Land theme park attractions, the mirror attraction, were destroyed, some kids blew one up, and others destroyed some of the go-karts. Steve (a soda can) was on his computer pretending to write some reports but was playing crossword puzzles. Cassandra (a coffee mug) was talking to Greg about hearing some noises from the park and seeing the lake's water rising so high it could be seen outside the woods.

Earl is walking out of the office of the chief of police, named the Colonel. The hot dog notices Nicole arriving at the office with her son, the bomb kid, the former delinquent, in her arms, and a slight pink rabbit wearing a white top hat and cloak.

Earl said, "Nicole, you got your son out of the hospital already?"

Doc growls, "He somehow destroyed the place when I arrived." Lapin looks confused.

Earl knew this had happened twice this month.

"AGAIN!" Lapin jumps and gets stuck on the top of the "floor."

"Who's the rabbit"? Earl points to Lapin, who looks hungry as he walks around the "floor."

"He came with us to get the ghost kid out of jail."

"Is he one of her family members?"

"No, he's her roommate. Her father returned a few weeks ago."

Lapin starts hallucinating as Doc talks, seeing the blue cat as ice cream, Gumball as a snow cone, Carmen as a hot pepper, and Julius as a jawbreaker. Doc leads them into another room. The cops remain the same, and Earl looks up and glares at him to get off the floor. Lapin still hallucinates, but Earl remains unchanged.

"Huh, that was pointless. You're already a hot dog." Lapin

For your information, the preferred term is "artificially flavored reconstituted meat snack." And it would help if you got off the floor. Earl orders the top hat-wearing Rabbit to get off the floor, but he sees the donuts that Clancy is eating and hops toward them while Earl catches up.

"Get back here, you rabbit swine!" Earl grabbed a rake to capture the pink Rabbit.

~Prison Cell

In one of the cells, Aphrodite, Clare, Ocho, Carrie, William, and Darrel are doing nothing. Inside the cell, Clare is trying to look around but bumps into the walls; Carrie is irritated by Casper's legs; Aphrodite starts biting her arms; Darrel has bandages around his torso from the wounds he had; Ocho looks briefly, then begins to sleep; and William plays the harmonica. Harmonicas are in every cell so people can pass the time or not get bored.
